The transcoding drought

Efficient video broadcasting is becoming crucial for a number of activities that utilize video on the internet: from advertising to news to sport and social media, more and more video content is produced, shared and broadcasted every day.
This represents a critical factor for network communications and data storage, which cannot currently handle the transmission nor the storage capacity.
The broadcasting of huge video files is very expensive, as they use a lot of bandwidth and cannot be handled efficiently. Therefore, to be transmitted, videos need to be transcoded.

Decentralizedtranscoding

Faster

Single computers can only perform to their best ability but with distributed computing, you get the best from across the whole system.

Safer

A single server can be rocked by glitches, but with distributed computing, a single glitch cannot result to complete system failures.

Scalable

The p2p network that process the tasks can accommodate an infinite number of nodes without need of new configurations or manual tasks.

Affordable

The business model utilizes “third parties” unutilized CPUs and rewards them with a token, so that lower hardware investments are required.

Becomea Masternode

A masternode is a public node of a distributed network. It manages the primary distribution of jobs, the verification of the transcoding process and the rewards. You can apply clicking the button below.

Becomea Worker

The worker is a generic worker inside the Tangram Network. It is a pseudonym entity, managed by any person that want to be part of the Tangram Network and do jobs released by a masternode.
